# The staking pool: where staking rewards come from

A fixed pool of 200 million CLUB is shared out every day by weighted stake. How the daily split, lock weights, leaving early and the 1% trading top-up work.

**Quick answer:** 200,000,000 CLUB, 20% of the whole supply, is set aside for staking rewards and released over three years, about 182,648 CLUB a day. Every day that budget is shared across all active stakes by **weighted amount**: your CLUB × your lock term's weight. Longer locks weigh more. On top of that, 1% of every buy and sell of CLUB goes back to staking rewards.

## How the daily split works

![Diagram: the 200M CLUB staking pool releases about 182,648 CLUB a day, split between stakes by amount times lock weight, booked weekly, then withdrawn or restaked; 1% of every trade tops the pool up](https://cdn.clubaffili.com/help/ecosystem/02-staking-pool.png)

**Example only.** Say today's budget is 182,648 CLUB and everyone's weighted total is 20,000,000. A 10,000 CLUB stake on a 12-month lock has a weighted amount of 20,000 (10,000 × 2.0), so it receives 182,648 × 20,000 ÷ 20,000,000 ≈ 182.6 CLUB that day. When more CLUB is staked, the same budget is shared more thinly and each stake receives less. There is no fixed rate.

The minimum is **$50 worth of CLUB in total**, at the live price, across your stakes. You can hold several stakes, each with its own amount and lock term.

## The life of a stake

![Diagram: a stake goes from Pending to Active once the transfer is verified on-chain; it ends as Unstaked when the lock ends, or Early exited with a fee and a 30-day hold](https://cdn.clubaffili.com/help/ecosystem/03-stake-lifecycle.png)

-   **Pending → Active.** You send CLUB from your verified payout wallet or any other wallet you have verified; the stake starts earning once the transfer is verified on-chain, usually within a few minutes.
    
-   **Lock ends.** Unstake with no fee and your principal is released to your wallet.
    
-   **Leaving early.** A 12-month stake pays a 60% fee on principal at any point before it matures. Shorter locks pay up to 60%, falling as the unlock date gets closer. The rest of your principal is held for 30 days, then released. Rewards you have already earned are kept.
    

## The 1% top-up from trading

Every buy and sell of CLUB on the market carries a 5% tax. 1% of each trade goes back to staking rewards, so trading activity adds to what stakers share. See **The 5% buy and sell tax** in this collection.

## When the allocation runs out

The 200,000,000 CLUB allocation is finite and is scheduled over three years from when staking rewards started in September 2026. When it is used up, rewards from that allocation stop. What continues after that, such as the trading top-up and future buybacks, will be published here well before then.
